People Development – Trade Old School Methods for New School Approach

When it comes to people development, corporations typically lean into programs that incorporate content-based learning through instructor-led workshops and online learning platforms. But do these methods for developing people generate results? Most experts say no. (You can view our survey results here.)

Content-rich, on-demand learning platforms may expose your talent to new and useful concepts. But knowledge doesnʼt equate to performance. That’s where coaching comes in. Eighty-four percent (84%) of HR and talent leaders believe learners are more likely to put new concepts into action when they work with a coach.

People development also has the added benefit of preparing talent for higher roles. According to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report, 93% of organizations are concerned about employee retention. The number one way organizations are working to improve retention is by providing learning opportunities.

How to Develop People & Leaders –
Go New School

The new school approach to people development incorporates two important components: action learning and coaching. Coaching is transformational. Organizations have seen the results. While other development methods impart knowledge, a coach puts learning into practice. In short, nothing matters if people donʼt convert new information into action. That’s why we believe you can transform your organization through performance coaching. See how M.J. Electric did just that with our leadership development programs. 

Learning isnʼt enough. Your investment is wasted if leaders donʼt convert new information into performance. Thatʼs where coaching comes in.
